I was seen by Debra Mercy. It was the worst patient health provider experience I have ever had. I have never been treated in any customer type interaction as badly as Debra treated me and those accompanying me. She never even introduced herself or asked if I was the patient she was to be meeting with. She was more concerned about proper mask wearing than my health care needs. At one point she was so rude she asked "why are you even here?". She refused to answer questions and gave condescending and disrespectful responses. It appeared that she never cared about my needs. While trying to communicate with her she was texting other people. She should not be in a patient service position. Her bed side manner was so deplorable. I will not return to this location again. If I could give a poorer score I would. It would have been better for me to not have even made the appointment. I waisted time and money and was extremely frustrated and disappointed.

This provider was very rude. I have never in my life been treated this way by a medical professional. She rolled her eyes when I asked a clarifying question it was bad. I would leave the U if she was to continue to be a part of my health care team. Zero stars for me

Feels she doesn't take time to know your chart. She ask questions and when I would answer the best I can she said "I don't know why you are making this so difficult". Then I try again she said "it don't matter forget it". This was the second face to face with her and it was not quite as bad the first time. But this is the first time I ever felt like I didn't know anything and like I was not important or even cared about from a University of Utah Dr.
